Ugh

Okay, it's official. I'm sick. Looks like it might be strep throat. I'm gonna see if my doc can fit me in today or tomorrow.

BTW, make sure your antivirus software is up to date!!! My inxplicable.org account is getting flooded with worm-infested emails. Good thing my various spambots and antivirus software and firewalls catch them all, but what a pain. RL viruses and computer ones at the same time. Yuk.

Thanks for the hugs, well wishes and compliments mothafunkybat and beloved4always and chiquis5784. ♥♥♥♥

Edited to add:

From the Symantec website - makers of Norton AntiVirus...

W32.Novarg.A@mm is a mass-mailing worm that arrives as an attachment with the file extension .bat, .cmd, .exe, .pif, .scr, or .zip.

When a computer is infected, the worm will set up a backdoor into the system by opening TCP ports 3127 through 3198, which can potentially allow an attacker to connect to the computer and use it as a proxy to gain access to its network resources.

In addition, the backdoor can download and execute arbitrary files.

The worm will perform a Denial of Service (DoS) starting on February 1, 2004. It also has a trigger date to stop spreading on February 12, 2004. These two events will only occur if the worm is run between or after those dates. While the worm will stop spreading on February 12, 2004, the backdoor component will continue to function after this date.

So it'll actually stop spreading on Feb. 12th. Interesting, huh?
